Yea squirtle was there too, right next to bulbasaur, although it being there at least seems more reasonable.

Not more logical then Charizard being at Oak's lab. Definite retcon shift concerning the 'training'-paradigm. At first we always thought it was everlasting, and Ash sometimes calls upon them. This retcon shift, with Charizard being the proof at this point, and the opening being a secondary implication, we can deduce that 'training' doesn't last for ever, and that the 'intraining'-pokemon have been returned to Oak.

I just can't see it any other way. Perhaps Primeape was included at Oak's ranch because the target audience would be seeing the capture in BWn8, but would likely have never seen the 'intrainingment' of Primeape. And hence the writers thought: "oh what the heck, might as well retcon it and put all of the 'trainees' back at Oak.

Also I forgot how cute Butterfree is .

Sounds like a good scenario, I'm expecting Beedrill to be the badguy here.

Probably because you guys don't know how much I loved Ash's Butterfree as a child, I thought he made the whole Butterfree species badass.

First Charizard, then Clair, now Butterfree? ZOMG PLEASE LET LAPRAS BE NEXT!

This is the most raunchy, nasty response I've ever read. I'm throroughly repulsed by it.

I think it is far more likely to expect: Charizard, Butterfree (June), Clair (taking Iris with her in September). And Lapras perhaps somewhere in the middle.

Somehow, I see Ash looking up at the sky, seeing something flying rapidly towards him, and just when he sees what it is, Butterfree crashes into his head, knocking them both out (to wake up later, happily hugging). That's unlikely to happen, but still.

Also, before Lapras, I wanna see poor Primape. D:

I think we'll just see Primeape at the lab, there's no reason for it not to be there considering Charizard was.

It's a bit too much for me really. Charizard coming from Oak's lab must have meant the retcon of Primeape, Squirtle and Gliscor as well. Which means we'll only have issues with Pidgeot, Lapras and Butterfree. We know where Pidgeot is, we will now know where Butterfree is, the only one we don't really know is Lapras as he drifts over the oceans between OI, Kanto and Johto. If we find Lapras in this arc as well, then it will likely be in a set place from there on out. From this point on, these three released pokemon could be called up again, just like Charizard, Squirtle and Gliscor were. It's just too much of a backwards development.

Answer to all the bad things in the world: Give up on trying to make everything better. Hence, accepting it for what it is. YOLO! <- Click the link and daw.. -.-

Part of me is excited and feeling nostaligic about its return, however another part of me is thinking that having Butterfree reappear kinda takes away the beauty of Ash releasing it in the episode. For me, Butterfree was all about letting go of someone you deeply care about in order for them to have a better life, and its goodbye scenes always felt so emotional knowing we wouldn't be seeing it again.

Oh good. So maybe now people can shut up about people hating Ash because Butterfree was never to be shown again. I'm glad that's takened care of. How about they just get all of the Kanto pokemon out of the way, that way people don't have to say they never saw them again?

True, and probably when Ash says goodbye to it again in this episode it probably won't be done as well. Reminds me of when Lapras appeared again at the end of Johto.

Someone showed off this picture on another thread (Cilan and Iris farewell I guess), so, is it confirmed ?
I hope this time Butterfree has learn many impressive moves instead of what he had in the past.

My reaction to the poster showing Butterfree went something like this; "HUH? BUTTER....BUTTERFREE!? OMGZOMGASDFGHJKL YES YES YES!!! ok ok I'm good, I'm cool... ohhh yeeeeeeeah." So in a rare moment my inner fanboy got to breath some fresh air from the surface. I mean, there was Charizard and that mananged to make me grin, but then Butterfree just unleashed me . No these nostalgic moments won't "fix" certain other things, but I'm starting to think they're definitely on the right track.

Charizard still came from the Charicific Valley to Oak's lab and Oak transferred Charizard to Ash. There was no retcon. Why are people going on about a retcon again?

Butterfree! It's been ages since we last saw him. I wish he could rejoin Ash, or at least be called upon for battles from time to time. But I think the most likely thing is an episode where they meet again, and then another sad goodbye.

Well atleast now we all know that no one has completely abandoned it. I'm happy so that this can finally be at rest. Maybe give the jerks on youtube something to keep their mouths shut.
